Current Events > Lesbian gets disowned by family after finding a photo of her and her gf. She....

(+) Yeah! (+)

is now struggling just to get by.

Emily Scheck, a cross-country runner at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, was cut out of her familys lives after her mother found a photo of the girl she was dating. Schecks father went so far as to drive to Buffalo from Rochester with all her belongings, remove the license plates from her car and fill the automobile with all her belongings that were at home with a note that she was never to speak with the family or her siblings again.

Schecks friends launched a GoFundMe campaign which raised approximately $25,000 for her living expenses.

Wrote the campaign: To stay in school, Emily works two jobs: one at Wegmans and the other, a work study job on campus. She is on her way to declaring herself an independent and hard working individual but has been struggling to support herself while completing schoolwork and competing at a high level. All the working, running, and school assignments leave Emily no time to actually be a kid in college. Emily has no home, and has no family supporting her. In 2019, she will no longer be on her parents health care plan and will have a whole new set of expenses to be covered. She was kicked out of her home for being herself. No one deserves to have their home and siblings taken away from them for being their true selves. Though she has made a new home in Buffalo through her teammates and her girlfriend, Justyna, we can no longer stand by and do nothing.

Now the NCAA says that she must give all the money back or lose eligibility, Outsports reports: She said she was contacted by an NCAA compliance officer at Canisius College and told she had two options, per his communication with the NCAA: Return every penny and maintain her NCAA eligibility, or keep the money and leave the cross-country team.She said the school offered to try to find some way to work with the NCAA to then raise some money all over again, but there were no guarantees. She claims lawyers were going to have to get involved, and there was no assurance shed come out the other side of it with a penny.

Canisius College is standing by the NCAA: After a review by the Colleges compliance staff, and following consultation with the NCAA, it was determined that the online crowdfunding webpage was organized and promoted in a manner not permitted under NCAA legislation. Canisius informed the student-athletes that it would be necessary to end the online fundraising effort and work with the website host to return the donations received in order to preserve the student-athletes eligibility.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the reason her parents are disowning her because of their religion.

This is sad.

Imagine choosing to give birth to your child (which they had no say in, remember) and then abandoning them to suffer.

This, absolutely disgusting actions by the parents. You loved and cared for this girl for nearly 20 years of your lives, and one single thing like this makes you throw all of that away and treat her like garbage? It makes me sick.

Not irrelevant. We need to cherish and support them.

Hmm $25k or run cross country? Take that money, she's not going to earn 25k ever for doing that I don't think.

What's disgusting is that they are throwing her out simply because she is in love with another person.

.....Like what the fuck?

Those parents are despicable pieces of shit.

Why on earth would anyone have an issue with a girl dating another girl?

You know for a fact she isn't gonna knock her up

I wonder how old her siblings are, and maybe they are still young and being forced to not talk to her. but they might when they get older.

The same applies to a guy dating another guy.

It should be a non-issue.

It's CE. It's an outrage if they're hot but it's only unfortunate if they aren't

I hate to see those cloistered draconian fuckups ruin another bright young person's future.

And her parents acted pretty shitty as well.
---

I never understood this logic...

If this was for religious reasons, as it always is..those parents don't believe in "god" - they fear hell. Fear makes you do stupid shit.

Isn't removing license plates a crime? They're attached to the car's registration so what can the parents do with them?

oh damn. TC why did you do that.
you're going to risk peoples jobs.

and it's already approaching winter at this point.

it's tc's gimmick on different accounts, he posts softcore porn regularly, gets modded, waits till it clears then does it back up
not sure why he thinks a site that has softcore porn in it is suitable for gamefaqs which is a 13+ site and not an 18+ one
oh and ollie, call me male and I'm marking you for hatespeech, you know not to do it

I get that the NCAA is a shitty organization and what they do making money off of student athletes is ridiculous.

But I'm confused where their justification is regarding the girl getting donations. She's not profiting off of her athletics right? Aren't donations their own thing?

Anyone with a better insight to legal or financial matters care to explain?

Also fuck the NCCA, parents, and the school. >_>

Not true
and secondly that means nothing. It's still a 13+ site.
You don't see people linking to gore and it being okay

Fuck the NCAA, holy shit.

They removed the license plates but left the car? wtf?

Regardless these parents sound like the worst humans alive.

I'm sure there's some "student athletes can't earn over X amount" rule, even if they're not dependents. But more likely, it's because the crowd funding thing probably mentioned she was an athlete and therefore violates their whole "student athletes can't profit from being an athlete, but we can totally profit off their likeness for years to come" paperwork.

But even if the GoFundMe page didn't mention she was a runner, could the NCAA still have argued against it? I mean I know they WOULD have but I'm not sure their whole legalese. I'm sure it's overtly complicated just so they could do that.

it's more of a blanket policy of athletes can't take large donations. Which makes sense as they are to play sports not be sponsored like pros are

Is that the picture that got her thrown out? It just looks like a picture of two friends to me.

The right one is stunning.

Somehow I missed the "dis-" in the title and thought it said she got owned by her family.

But yeah, it isn't like homophobia died when gay marriage became legal in the States - hell, the opinion poll numbers on that were still troubling back then, can't imagine things have changed drastically since then. If anything, legalizing it likely caused many homophobes to become more entrenched in their hatred. Hatred and stupidity is always a dangerous combo.
